When we think of Love Island's Liberty Poole, the last thing we'd ever think of is someone who 'suffers with dark circles'. But, we're all human, right? (At least some comfort for us mere mortals). What springs to mind when we think of Liberty is a bright, youthful, fresh face. So, when the star took to her Instagram to share that she 'gets really bad under eyes', quite frankly, we were shocked.
And, we needed to know her skincare secret, asap.
Liberty posted in a recent video on Instagram, 'I get really bad under eyes, so I need to make sure my skincare routine is top tier', before showing some of her self-care favourites to prep her makeup-less skin.
Among some of her holy-grail products was the cult-classic Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, £49 - but her favourite hack for brightening her under eyes? A much more affordable high-street buy...
Currently on offer at Boots, and coming in at just £14.67 is the Pixi DetoxifEYE Depuffing Eye Patches that Liberty swears by. The green-toned, hydrogel eye patches work to tone down redness and depuff the under eyes for a brighter look.
Liberty went on to explain, 'Because I suffer with dark under eyes, I use the Pixi Toning Eye Patches to help reduce puffiness and lighten the dark circles. Twice this month I've been asked for my ID because they thought I was 16 and under, so it must be working.' Well, that's good enough for us.
Jam-packed full of skin-loving ingredients, the Pixi eye patches are infused with cucumber and gold to help soothe, nourish and fortify - while hyaluronic acid and caffeine help to smooth and depuff the under eyes. Dark circles who?

Making it onto the Boots Beauty Award shortlist as a nominee, hundreds are rushing to add these affordable eye patches to their baskets - especially as they're on offer.
One reviewer commented, 'These are amazing! I always wake up with really bad puffy eyes in the mornings and these are the only things that have helped to reduce them.'
Better yet, there's an offer on Boots where you can save 1/3 on selected Pixi items over at Boots right now, so now's the best time if you want to test out the brand's bestsellers, as well as Liberty's go-to Pixi Retinol Tonic, £6.67.
The brand has loads of eye patches to test out, so you'll be left with bright under eyes for the foreseeable.
What does Liberty Poole use in her skincare routine?
To start with, Liberty uses the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm to cleanse her face before following up with the Elemis Apricot Toner, £20. She then adds her Pixi DetoxifEYE Depuffing Eye Patches to soothe her under eyes.
Following on from that, she applies the bestselling Medik8 Advanced Night Restore, £59 before finishing her self-care Sunday skincare routine with Pixi's Retinol Tonic. Flawless skin like Liberty's? Pending. And we're currently taking all of the notes.
